Again, I never said that. Objective would just mean that there's no debate to be had about whether the voodoo boys are offensive or not. Since there are multiple viewpoints on this though it's a more nuanced issue than just "You guys just want to excuse shitty thing" That's not at all what...

This thread has it all. If there was ever a thread that summed up the current shitshow that is resetera in one go then this is it. Ridiculous bans, faux outrage, "tired" posters (its currently missing someone saying they need to "lie down"), calls for people to be banned for "wrong-think", the thread being locked only to be reopened again after mass banning, "read staff post" in the thread title, etc, etc.
Just incredible stuff. It's one for the ages.

Reddit seems to be taking down anything related to it. Their mods ban anyone for "malicious trolling" when bringing it up, and ZhugeEX and his cronies are blocking anyone who dares ask about it on twitter.
They are desperately trying to cover up something that they seem to claim to not have an issue with.

The more era talks nonsense about Cyberpunk 2077, the more it is making me want to pre-order (which I never do). It's great marketing for CDPR.

I am not sure which would be the worst part to me of that thread being closed. The fact that apparently people are reporting each other, meaning that people are quite literally feeling that shook that they need to go phone it in to the gestapo or that they would blame it on "reports" to to cover up that the mods feel that their echo chamber is being compromised.This thread:

I kinda miss Audioboxer. It was sad to see him go with the flow when the Great Divide happened. He was one of the rare level-headed posters here ever when things were full on crazy. Good to see he has apparently continued being level-headed on Reset too. I hope he gets back here now that he's gone from Reset.

Here I sit still trying to figure out how REEE and their partners in progressive regression Rock Paper Shotgun could come up with "Transphobia" in the Cyberpunk 2077 advertising. Was it because the cock was so large? Or was it because the figure in question was not presented as a waif like anime doll? I genuinely do not understand.
I am not even going to get into the new wave of bluster over subtitles being too ethnic.

I'm usually one to thumb my nose at conspiracy theories but there are so many events over past ~6-7 years that tickle my tendies.
- Aaron Swartz, reddit co-founder, supposedly killing himself.
- One of the other reddit founders, Alexis Ohanian, marrying one of the most outspoken social justice brats in sports, Serena Williams.
- Ellen "Chairman" Pao being installed as reddit CEO and forcing TwoXChromosomes to be a default sub.
- Anti-identity politics subs like KotakuInAction having their mod teams replaced by social justice warriors.
- The complete and utter devolution of reddit in general into far left identity politics.
- The complete and utter devolution of games journalism into far left identity politics.
- The complete and utter devolution of news and entertainment media into far left identity politics.
- The hostile takeover of GAF by the militant far left identity politics faction.

Think about what would happen for a moment, if after all the hellfire and brimstone....hmm ok let's go a different road. Think about what would happen if after all the blustering and stupidity as well as hostility expressed during the exodus toward EviLore as well as to countless other figures in various communities if one of the main core of Reee were somehow found to be caught up in something unseemly. The chaos would be delicious.

Yeah. What set them off was him "taking credit for AVGN" in a tweet which isn't accurate. He was referring to the fact that he was literally the one that set up and ran the YouTube channel, but those idiots are too stupid and blind to realize it.

Just got banned for a second time. Likely because of my post in the Mike Matei thread but I can’t tell since the Bot site hasn’t updated yet. Three days. Whatever.
I almost expected it, but I don’t know why. I agree that Mike’s racist comics are shitty but I’m not willing to drop Cinemassacre because of it and I’m not willing to act like Mike’s success (along with the success of James Rolfe and everyone else involved with the channel) is illegitimate because of it.
Sorry, world.
A warning might have been more appropriate. I wasn’t trying to cause a stir. I was just being honest.
If enough people find me wrong shoot me down I’d be happy with THAT embarrassment. It’d be a learning experience. It’d help me grow with the community.
An outright ban is just...discouraging.

So I've been working my way through The Autobiography of Malcolm X and among the many things that have stuck out, this one in particular made me stop and think a long while. I have (white) friends that will be the first to tell people they support black/minority issues but at home...with family...

It's crazy. And they push this anti-work mentality, too, which I'm also not on board with. I'll be the first to admit that the work culture in America has its problems but I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to work and earn money or dare I say working a little harder to try and make more money. You just need to be careful to not be taken advantage of.
The idea that we should all want to work as little as possible seems weird to me. I'm a believer in the mantra "if you love your job, then it's not really work". Granted, we're not all so lucky to do what we love but working pays the bills and makes the world go round. In all honesty, I have no desire to wander the Earth aimlessly for the "experience" (no offense to anyone that likes to travel). As a millennial, I firmly believe my own generation gets the words "experience" and "expense" mixed up.

Same. I bickered with them on that type of thing as well. I’m all for livable wages, stronger workers rights and protections of them, more social supports and safety nets for the less fortunate and so on. But I’m not in favor of things like universal basic income. Able-bodied people should be working (and being paid a livable wage) and contributing something to others/society, nit just sitting in their asses and getting money each month.
I love travel, but I couldn’t do it all the time and get stir crazy if I take too much time off work. I like my job and I like to stay busy. There’s only so many days I can do stuff around the city, watch movies/tv, play video games etc. before getting bored AF. I’m a bit over a week out from surgery to repair a bicep tendon and already have cabin fever and will try and go into the office at last a couple days this week.

There is also a thing of personal dignity and usefulness that all humans have. We are a pack species. And it sucks not pulling your weight.
I do agree that many American companies and work cultures are exploitative. But if you want to see how integral meaningful work is to our psyches, visit a nursing home.
This doesn't necessarily mean working for the man until you die, but there is a need to contribute engrained in us.

Society as a whole suddenly disappears. How long do you think you could survive?
If all people besides you disappeared in an instant, how long do you think you could survive? Notes: - Only people disappear (your dog is safe, don't worry) - It's a Thanos-mike thing, everyone disappears in one second (it's not a famine, a plague or anything of the sort) - You're at your home...

Not sure the controversy here. I could make it a long while. I’m introverted and mostly dislike people and grew up the in the country so I know how to garden and can and hunt and fish and prepare meat. For power you could just crash houses with solar power until that stopped working. Ideally in temperate climates to minimize heating/cooling needs so you could mostly use it for refrigeration and gaming etc. Water would mean finding a solar powered house with a good well system.
I’d rather society stick around as it’s way easier to just buy food and I made life/career choices the fleet my required socialization to a level I can handle.

Lol everyone concerned about the electrical grids. Guess society collapses and there are people in here estimating they would still have power and internet access lol. Cos yes he people running power plants would still go to work, even when society collapses. “You would have an infinite supply of canned goods” these people really live in fantasy of their own making
Nobody is even thinking about how to grow food. It’s “just go loot food from the supermarket!” wow yes I’m sure nobody else would have thought to do the same, certainly nobody with guns, they would leave enough there for everyone to loot. Know what would really happen? By the time you wake up all stores around you have been looted by 2nd amendment fanatics and you starve to death staring at a grocery store’s empty shelves
Lol just clueless fucking entitlement these people can’t imagine a future where they are inconvenienced

They don't, they mostly stay in their homes, fearing everything outside. When they are outside, they are paranoid of everyone and everything. They already assumed the worst and ready themselves for things that aren't going to happen. They are unaware of how to interact with people they haven't already interviewed as non-toxic.
